Seasoned by 24 years of professional practice as a psychologist and integrating advances in research and treatment, I have attempted in Autism in the Family to help families navigate the emotional landscape and the practical roadmap through the lifespan from early childhood through the school years and adolescence on to adulthood. The book also offers rare in-depth coverage of the fathers experience in parenting a child with a disability. Autism in the Family: Caring and Coping Together has garnered much praise: A comprehensive view of autism across the lifespan Naseef encourages readers to understand and accept those with ASD, and to ultimately connect, adapt, cope, hope, and flourish, said Emily Iland, M.A., president of the Autism Society of Los Angeles. Insightful, accurate, and very personalshould be helpful to any parent whose journey includes a child with autism. Naseef has provided important information in a caring and compassionate manner, explained Kenneth Thurman, Ph.D., professor of special education at Temple University. An excellent resource for families and professionals alike. I am moved and inspired by the stories of Naseef and others that are woven in, and will be sharing this [book] with students, families, and colleagues, said Helen McCabe, Ph.D., associate professor at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. Fathers often have difficulty expressing their feelings and this book should be required reading for all fathers who have a child with a disability, said Temple Grandin, author of Thinking in Pictures. A warm and down-to-earth guide for parents and an enlightening read for the professionals who work with them, this book is a valuable companion to families as they love and support their child with autism.
